- the tapered projection 42a can be snap fitted into the projections 72a and 72'a through the narrowed portions 72b and 72'b when the protective cover 40 is assembled with the block case 10.
- the screening member 100 of iron, chromium, and silicon is provided at a moving member (not shown), such as, a moving piece of a printer or other various kinds of devices in such a manner that it projects perpendicularly to the direction of the movement of the moving member. More particularly, the the screening member 100 is disposed in such a manner that it can travel in the space between the magnet 20 and the Hall IC chip 30.
- screening member 100 is not directly mounted at the moving member but is provided in association with switching unit 10.
- a resilient support plate designated by reference numeral 200 comprises a flat rectangular plate 210, having a bent portion 220 integrally provided at one end thereof, in which a pair of elliptical bores 202 are provided, and a resilient contact arm 230 one end of which is integrally connected with the extending end of the bent portion 220 in such a manner that it is disposed so as to spread externally at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular plate 210.

- Reference numeral 234 is a slit for the purpose of facility of formation of screening member by proven bending method.
- a miniature contactless switching unit is mounted on any suitable devices through the supporting member 200 in such a manner that each bore 202 provided in the supporting member 200 coincides with each bore 70 and 70' of the block case 10, respectively.
- any suitable screws (not shown) are inserted into the bores 70, 70' and 202, rotation of screws bring block case 10 and the supporting member 200 to be secured to any suitable devices (not shown).
- screening member 100 provided at the resilient contact arm 200 overlaps the space between the magnet and the Hall IC chip to hold the output of the Hall IC 30 in its first switching state.
- the contact arm 200 is swung to the left hand side in FIG. 8 and is displaced in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the switching unit. Screening member 100 is thus disposed between magnet 20 and Hall IC chip 30 to prevent magnetic flux produced from magnet 20 to Hall IC chip 30. Therefore, the output of the Hall IC 30 is changed from the first switching state to the second switching state. For the same reason as the method of directly mounting screening member 100 to the moving member, it is easy to detect the change of position of the moving member by driving any suitable display device using the output of the Hall IC 30.
- the switching unit according to the present invention comprises the fixed permanent magnet 20 oppositely position to the magneto-electro converter 30 within the block case 10, and the screening member 100 which is able to be disposed in accordance with movement of the moving member, it is easy to form an uniform magnetic field, and therefore high reliability and responsibility is obtained.
- This uniform magnetic field ensures large actuating distance spacing between the magnet 20 and the magneto-electro converter 30.
- the switching unit according to the present invention does not relatively suffer from an undesirable external magnetic field.
- the permanent magnet and the magneto-electro converter for sensing the magnetic field are oppositely disposed within the block case 10 in such a manner that a predetermined magnetic field intensity which is sufficient to detect a change of output level of the magneto-electro converter 30 due to the presence or absence of screening member 100 between the magnet 20 and the magneto-electro converter 30, is applied to the magneto-electro converter 30. For this reason, it is not necessary to adjust the positioning or matching of the magnet 20 and the magneto-electro converter 30.
- the switching unit is operable with a small permanent magnet. Furthermore, it is possible to miniaturize the switching unit itself due to a reduction of the magnet 20 assembled in the switching unit.
- the switching unit according to the present invention functions for non-contacting and contactless type switches. Therefore, the switching unit ensures high reliability and is eliminated from contact wear, mechanical contact bounce, and electrical chattering.
- the switching unit according to the present invention is characterized in that the output level is determined according to whether the screening member 100 is disposed or not between the magnet 20 and the magneto-electro converter 30 to which a predetermined homogeneous magnetic field is applied. Therefore, it is possible to determine a change of the position of the moving member by driving any suitable display devices with the output of the magneto-electro converter 30.
- the switching unit according to the present invention essentially consists of molded block case 10, permanent magnet 20, magneto-electro converter 30, and screening member 100. The number of parts and fabricating steps of the switching unit is reduced as compared with conventional contactless switches.
- the output of the magneto-electro converter 30 can be interfaced directly with output circuit including interface elements 90, such as, a transistor diode or other logical circuits.
- interface elements 90 such as, a transistor diode or other logical circuits.
- An extra space for interface elements 90 is not required. That is, adding the interface elements to the elementary switching circuit does not enlarge the size of the switching unit.
- Providing the protective cover 40 with the switching unit through the printed circuit board 80 brings about a conductive area formed on the printed circuit board 80 and interface elements 90 to be free from undesired influences of dusts.
- the assembly of screening member as shown in FIG. 7 is suitable for a typewriter or printer paper feed positioning.
- the switching unit according to the present invention is mainly applicable to proximity switches and applicable to other various kinds of devices, such as, automatic controller, vending machine, linear or rotational position detector, float switch, guard device for various machinery, terminal-machine or peripheral equipment in information processor, labor-saving machinery, etc.
